secret nuclear sites?

The main reason that I have to read the article “Iran could have more secret nuclear sites, warns UN nuclear watchdog”, I don’t know what is it actually, I don’t have more reasons than a psycho-thinking, I think that all of us are worried about the possibility of a new world war, or a nuclear disaster one of this days, like Chernobyl’s, and we are worried because –of course- they are tragedies that no one could want to happen again.

It’s true, I don’t think about that every day, but if I read something like a secret nuclear site anywhere I get frightened instantly, and if I read Iran before “secret nuclear site” causes me more fear, it’s like read something alike with Russia, China or the US, that could be the worst, I mean if I read something like that with the US before secret nuclear site maybe I’d try to build a nuclear refuge under my house connected to the University and all of the places that I frequent, to be safe anywhere, it’s not possible but I’d like to (It’s obvious that I’ve seen a lot of world disaster films) or the other possibility is just becoming to live the crazy life, because probably I could be dead the next day, of course that I’m exaggerating but it’s not important, all that I’ve said are suppositions.

The truth is that the secret nuclear site (in Qom, Iran) is not secret anymore, It’s positive, like a good new after the bad new so now it’s not a danger, because now there are people worried, informed and they can control it. I mean, I hope so.

Elections

First of all I'm going to say that I'll vote, for who?, I don't know actually, I'd really like to have a candidate that I like, There are 4 options, and I think that no one of them is too good for me. One of them is rightist, and that’s my reason to don’t vote for him, but with the others, I’m not sure either, one of them has great ideas to make more important the culture(arts, music, theatre) but he is too under realistic, in this way the others have good ideas for another things too, but I don’t know what to do, because no one of them has all the necessary things to vote for him, they have parts of that, but no one is the great and complete candidate, of course that thinking about a great complete candidate is a dreamy thing, but is not difficult to dream about that, so why I’m going to vote if I don’t know who’s my candidate? I think that voting is a right and a thing that we have the implicit obligation to do. If we are giving opinions to the air it doesn’t means anything but we have the opportunity to improve that what we are saying has reasons and effects. That’s why I’m going to vote.
Now, If we think in the future, like participate in politics, maybe I’d like to, not like a president or a senator, but maybe like culture minister or something like that could be a great opportunity in my life and I don’t deny it.

Brazil

I'd like to go to Brazil because I like the music, the language (maybe learn some of that) and I think that it could be really fun to go there, meet the people, dance a lot, maybe listen to someone playing' music on the street. I've a friend who went there about 3 years ago and he listened to Cartola playing some of his songs in the street and talkin' to the people who were there. I'd really like to have been there for that time, so I hope that if I go there something like that could happen.
In addition I would like to go there for the next year because It will be the biennial of art and It suppose that in the biennial there will be works of the most of the famous artists in history (like Rembrandt for example or Basquiat, who’s one of my favorites, and I’d really like to see at least one of his works in my life.)
And finally, of course, and not less important is go to the beach (Ipanema), get into the sea, swim or ask someone to teach me how to surf, drink something with the people that I could meet, buy me some clothes or buy films like “proibido proibir”, that’s one of the films that I can’t find here and I like it.

Are Luxury photography books recession-proof

I’ll make you a summary about the article that I read on the website that you gave me.
Its name is “Are Luxury photography books recession-proof?” and it's about Taschen art book and if that business is prolific, and the answer that I had reading this is yes. In one part of the article I read something that the German publisher (Taschen) said and it was that people know how to invest them money, and limited-edition books are a good thing to invest.
Also, when we are thinking that the industry of art books is probably not ludicrous we are on a big mistake, there are people that really like books, art books, or they are art collectors, although, there are people who haven’t money but they are fans of one artist (probably) and they buy the book because the book becomes to them something like a treasure.
If you buy an art book, or a photography book or something like Taschen books are is obvious that you will pay more for that book than an only text book, the limited-edition is one of the most important reasons for that.
And of course that I’m agree with that, probably not with the price that these type of books have here in Chile, but I really like them, I have some of them and I like to see them over and over again, sometimes I pay a lot for them, and it’s because of that that they’re treasures to me. I have a lot of Taschen books with the biography of some of my favorite artists, and I have one of the “BLUME” that is about design illustration and I love it.

Suggested topics

I’d like to suggest some topics like music (favorite songs or groups and explain why we like them), movies (actors, directors, favorite movies, the film that we don’t want to see ever again, or the film that we see over and over again, critics about one, etc), books or literature in general, things from TV ( you know, like tell you what’s our favorite TV series or program or why we dislike some of them), we could write about things that we like but embarrassed us too, we can talk about our classes, our routine, our customs, the typical things that we do when we are alone or when we are in the street or public transport, our dreams house or the place that we'd like to live (cities, countries, etc), the place that we have to visit before death or the thing that we have to do before death.I don’t know what else, but I think that’s enough.

A blog experience

I don’t know if the blog experience was good or not.
Sometimes I discovered that I had such stupid mistakes, and I have some doubts about the spelling of French and Latin that you corrected me, actually I don't know what the problem with that was, and when I saw you at class I forgot to ask you, your post correcting that was not really clear to me.
Now, it doesn't matter how to spell Latin or French because I imagine that you will answer me that.
I have just one problem with the blog experience and that was your last post to me. You told me there that for you my blog seemed like if I had cut and pasted that from another place, but that's not true. I read some things in internet, of course, I don't know the date of Toulousse Lautrec's birthday, so I had to read it and I used some dictionaries (Spanish to English) websites but it doesn't mean that I did the thing that you told that I did.
I think that I don’t need another blog, so I won't be worried about how many words I am writing, because I have nothing else to say about the blog experience, It was not that bad, but sometimes it was really boring to have homework for English class and for the other classes that we have too.

The best in my area

I can't talk about artists that make etching, wich is my area in art, because I don't know too much about them, but in general, like just an artist I have to say that my favorite, the one that I think that is the best artist is Toulousse Lautrec.

He was a painter, draftsman and illustrator who was born in France in 1864, He was specially dedicated to represent the decadent life of those times. He used to paint provocative images of women.
Lautrec was one of the greatest post impresionist painters with Vincent Van Gogh, Paul Gaughin and Cézanne among others.


I like him like an artist because how he used to work with colours, the deformation of bodies and the topic of the decadent life in France in his times. He showed the night life of the black sheep of an aristocrat family, who was him, his friends lifes, the places that were his refuges and the things that enjoyed him.
And it didn't matter to him if that tipe of life was bad or good for the rest of the people.

His most famous works were Le toilette (1896),
Ambassadeurs (1892), In bed (1893), marcelle lender on stage (1895), The clown Cha-U-Kao at the Moulin Rouge (1895), jane avril (1899) and salon at the rue des moulins ((1894) -wich is the picture of the right side-)

We can see him like a character in the movie Moulin Rouge, of course that I noticed that, a long time after see the movie for the first time.
But this life that the movie shows us couldn't be so happy like we could imagine. He was an alcoholic for the most of his adult life, so he had an early death at the age of 36.
